Steady Scope - directional lock for your FFS. Or, if you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket...

Featured Replies

I just ordered my basic manual Fishing Specialties FFS mount for my kayak earlier this morning.  Then this afternoon I received a link to this video answering questions about the Steady Scope.  Think of it as spotlock for your FFS transducer.  It is NOT target tracking, but it locks on and rotates to keep the FFS transducer pointed in the same direction, no matter how the boat rotates or drifts.  At least that's the theory.  Seems pretty cool, appeals to my love of gadgets.  Looks like they're going into the funding portion next week sometime.

It looks like a kind of cool deal, but they don't have any mounts yet to connect directly to the trolling motor. As much as I move around, that's a major drawback. I know they plan to come out with them, but until they do it's a no go. In my opinion, it should have been one of the first things they designed to give mounting options to everyone.

For my use it's not something I'd pay for.  Obviously structure doesn't move, but bait moves, and fish move.  I have no problem tracking bait/fish, or staying on structure with my trolling motor mounted turrent.  (turns independently from the trolling motor)
